Wrong, the eastern front was prolonged, and it didn't start during the winter, retard Hitler chose to divert the German forces slowing down the invasion

>nope.jpg
a "visionary" stateman, which the cult of Bismark purports Bismark to be, would have created an enduring system that kept peace in Europe and a set of traditions and policy objectives that could be passed on to Bismark's successors in the german diplomatic establishment. This didn't happen. Bismark's diplomacy was already unraveling by the late 1880s and even earlier, depending on who you ask. He also created a diplomatic system that only he and he alone knew how to operate, because the guy was extremely arrogant and domineering which people obsessed with the of "romantic genius" or "charismatic statesmanship" confuse for competency. No: Bismark was a hack who destroyed the possibility of Germany becoming an accepted great power in Europe for nearly a century. His uniting Germany was a small victory for the slaughter and destruction he brought upon Europe. Not everyone who wears aesthetic uniforms actually lives up to their image. In this regard Willy truly was Bismark's successor despite his deposing the guy.

why

>>3170840
Because it's obvious there is tremendous bias behinf thy words. While it is true Bismarck's successors could not inherit the realpolitik he practiced so effectively, Otto himself laid the foundations of a system which, if governed correctly would prevent a large scale conflict such as WWI (In our timeline however he got roudy emperors who would not listen to him and fucked it all up)

No way, this can't be true. Hitler's general staff even called him the Greatest Field General of All Time. He was a military genius. Just look at this foolproof plan he came up with all on his own.
